Dasaprakash
Highly recommended by locals for consistently good South Indian veg food, Dasaprakash whips up spectacular thalis (with bottomless refills), dosa, and a few token continental dishes. The dessert sundaes are tempting but pricey (from Rs90). Comfortable booth seating and wood-lattice screens make for intimate dining.

Rams
In a new, larger location, Rams continues to serve good South Indian food, including vegetarian thalis('all-you-can-eat' meals consisting of rice with vegetable curries and pappadams) and a variety of dosas (paper-thin rice- and lentil-flour pancakes) in a wonderfully colourful setting featuring Hindu devotional art.

Mango Tree
Creativity blends with culinary excellence at this rural-themed chill-out joint, spread out under the eponymous mango tree by the riverbanks. The walk out here is through a banana plantation, and the food is delicious – the restaurant does lip-smacking dosas for breakfast and dinner. The ambience is simply overwhelming, and the terraced seating perfect for whiling away a lazy afternoon, book in hand.

Saravana Bhavan
Massively popular, Tamil Saravana has a fast-food feel, but food is by no means junk: dosas, idlis and other southern specialities, accompanied by lovely fresh chutneys. Inventive sweets include cucumber-seed ladoos (sweet balls). Finish with a South Indian coffee. Arrive early or queue!
